Using Wavelet Support Vector Machines to Generate Expected Outputs

A test case consists of a set of inputs and a list of expected outputs. To automatically generate the expected outputs for the test case is rather difficult. An approach based on wavelet support vector machines (WSVM) is proposed to overcome it. After training, WSVM is used to automatically generate the expected outputs, which approximate the correct outputs. Actual outputs of the application under testing (AUT) are then compared with expected outputs in an interval to determine if there is a failure. Experiment and comparison show that the method is effective and can save a lot of time and labor in software testing
